APPLIOATOR FOR THE SCALP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 2, 1907.

Application filed July 11:,1906. Serial No. 325,730-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNsT KROMAYER, professor of medicine, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Berlin, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Applicators for the Scalp, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a device for applying liquids, for example, oil, ointment, medicaments and the like to the scalp, and comprises in combination a styliform instrument having a handle provided with a slot, a plurality of shoulders projecting into said slot, a wire bearing against said shoulders and permeable means adapted to be held by said wire.

The preferred embodiment of the invention resides in that construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and embraced within the scope of the appended claim.

Figure 1 represents a plan partly in section; and Fig. 2 an elevation of the device.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts in both views.

The instrument is preferably of styliform and is provided with a handle I) and a slot 1" arranged adjacent the forward end and having shoulders s at each end thereof, against which the means for receiving and delivering the liquid which consists of a felt-like material 25 held together by a wire a, is placed. The forward end of the instrument is tapered as shown at c, and constitutes a parting pointE v It will thus be obvious that when an instrument constructed and arranged in accordance with the foregoing description is applied to the hair and moved several times to and fro, the liquid will be liberated from the permeable substance and readily rubbed into the scalp, during which operation the point 0 in advance of the slot containing the permeable substance, serves to part the hair, and consequently insures a direct and uninterrupted contact of the liquid with the scalp.

While I have described in the foregoing specification the construction of parts preferred I am aware that numerous changes of construction may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and I therefore do notwish to be understood as limiting myself by the positive terms employed in connection with the description, excepting such as the state of the art may require.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

An applicator for the scalp, comprising in combination a styliform instrument having a handle provided with a slot, a plurality of shoulders projecting into said slot, a wire bearing against said shoulders, and permeable means adapted to be held by said wire, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ERNST KROMAYER.
